Question: Did one of those two teams agree to give up their turn hosting Farmageddon, or is this being treated as a one-off and the hosting rotation continues after this year?

KSU gave up the home game.  We won’t go back to Manhattan until ‘28 if current scheduling holds.

I'd love to see the finances behind this decision. Moving a rivalry game to Week 0 is harder on both teams.

TV money > Sold-out home game for KSU?

Week Zero promo is out. College football is so close.

 

Dublin is great. Wonder how many fans will travel vs locals attending...

It’s always attended well and sold out. The Irish love it as well. I’d love to see Texas play Notre Dame there.

Am I misremembering or is it currently not an annual/ protected game? I really hope the conference changes that someday if so.

It’s not being played in 2027.  Both fanbases are livid.  Both ADs couldn’t care less.

Back in the day I remember that Stillwater businesses expected at least 6 home games a year so we were fine playing neutral site games so long as the schedule allowed for six home games. Looks like KSU still gets six home games this year. I found they also are playing Arizona as a non-conference game from pre-realignment scheduling. I wonder if that's the last one?

I would probably have to find a way to make that game.

I think both ISU and KSU sold out their allotments, but a solid 1/3rd of the crowd tends to be locals.

Looks like BYU will be starting a true freshman at QB after the Retzlaff drama and exit. 

Bachmeier had offers from Alabama, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, Michigan, Oregon, Arkansas and Michigan State coming out of high school. He chose Stanford, won the starting job in the spring, but with the departure of the HC he transferred to BYU and now won the starting job again. The team is good enough that he just needs to be solid and manage the game. Could be a bumpy year or special year if he steps up because the rest of the pieces are in place.

That should make for a neat fan experience with some good interaction to be had I'm thinking.
